XMP version 1.3 performance profile support for memory speeds of 1600 MHz or lower

For full compliance with applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the board requires DIMMs supporting the serial presence detect (SPD) data structure. Using DIMMs that support SPD, allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS tries to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability can be impacted. Also, the DIMMs might not function under the specified frequency.
